It's been a long time since I've posted anything in here. In the meantime, I've changed my job (2 times), I've moved to another country :)
Just started using tmux, as a
replacement for GNU screen. So
far - so good, except that the default C-b control combination is not
too convenient for me, so I went on and changed the key bindings to a
screen-like layout. Hopefully, at least in Debian/Ubuntu, there's a
sample config file with screen-like bindings:
/usr/share/doc/tmux/examples/screen-keys.conf
